The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 654: Chapter 654 The Fallen Jade Maiden_1

The Fire Blade, like an arc of light, caught up with the Snow Dragon Leopard in the blink of an eye, then swept across its body.

The Snow Dragon Leopard, moving at high speed, suddenly split in two, akin to a high-speed train derailing and crashing to the ground, its inertia sending its body tumbling forward for a considerable distance.

The color of the Fire Blade dimmed significantly, but it continued to surge forward at high speed.

Due to the angle, the lower end of the Fire Blade touched the ground first, instantly vaporizing the ice and frozen snow upon contact, while the ground was deeply cleaved by the Fire Blade, with cracks starting to emit black smoke.

Gradually sinking into the ground, by the time the Fire Blade had completely vanished, a fissure hundreds of meters long had been cut through the entire valley, with all the surrounding ice and snow gone and the hard frozen earth and even the rocks split apart, billowing with plumes of black smoke.

Carson Flores was dumbstruck.

Holy shit, that powerful?

According to the description in the Jade Slip, the body of a Snow Dragon Leopard was like it was covered in a layer of Profound Ice, whether it was a Flying Sword or a Spell, its power would be greatly reduced upon hitting it, making the Snow Dragon Leopard very hard to kill. But had he just... killed a Snow Dragon Leopard in one second?

If killing the Snow Dragon Leopard was this easy, then would slashing a Golden Core Realm Cultivator be just as simple?

In the wake of his shock, Carson finally understood why the Water-Fire True Person could dominate the Cultivation Realm with the Water-Fire Mirror.

With the control of the Water-Fire Mirror, the stronger one’s power, the more water and fire Spell attacks one can absorb, and the more powerful the attacks that can be wielded. He was only at the Golden Core Initial Stage, yet he could unleash such a formidable attack. What level of attack would he be capable of if he were like Delaney Hunter, like Cave Master Daxton Campbell?

After a moment of astonishment, Carson joyfully ran over to the Snow Dragon Leopard and began to collect his spoils of battle.

A Demon Core and a pair of long Fanged Teeth that could be used in Artifact Refining.

After dealing with these, Carson mounted his sword and continued his search for a second prey.

Although the Water-Fire Mirror was only effective against water and fire Spells, as long as enough Spiritual Energy was stored, the attacks could target a specific goal!

In just half a day, Carson had found three Snow Dragon Leopards, without exception all were first taunted, their Ice Storm attacks absorbed, and finally killed with the Fire Blade, quite effortlessly.

As Carson continued his hunt, a thunderous howl resonated through heaven and earth.

Snow Dragon Leopard!

Carson was very familiar with this howl, but the might contained within this sound was earth-shattering, incomparable to the Snow Dragon Leopards he had encountered before.

This was a big one!

As Carson soared on his sword, hesitating whether to approach and take a look, a white shadow suddenly burst forth from the distance, followed by an enormous Snow Dragon Leopard. Its form was like lightning, hardly slower than sword flight, and even a bit faster, rapidly gaining ground.

The white shadow arrived in the blink of an eye, and Carson recognized the figure—it was none other than Killian Jaramillo, known as the Jade Maiden.

At this moment, Killian’s appearance was rather wretched, with disheveled hair and body drenched in blood that had frozen over. Upon closer inspection, one could see her entire body was covered in a layer of frost, as if she had been frozen.

The Snow Dragon Leopard following close behind Killian was at least three times larger than any Carson had encountered before, looking even more imposing.

Snow Dragon Leopard King!

A palpable dread struck Carson’s heart. The power of an adult Snow Dragon Leopard King was at least comparable to a Cultivator in the Golden Core Late Stage, or possibly even a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator—formidably strong!

Killian clearly didn’t expect to encounter another Cultivator here. She had intended to speed past, but then suddenly halted her flight, urgently shouting, ”Run for it!”

Suspended mid-air, Killian turned to face the rapidly approaching Snow Dragon Leopard King and flicked her wrist. From the giant Sword Box on her back, several Flying Swords whisked out, shooting towards the Snow Dragon Leopard King like meteors chasing the moon.

Carson turned and ran without hesitation, though his emotions were somewhat mixed.

Killian could have simply fled, but by running away, she would surely expose him to the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s pursuit, which would certainly mean death for him.

She could have conveniently used him as a delay tactic against the pursuing Snow Dragon Leopard King, but instead, she chose to stay behind, facing the Snow Dragon Leopard King alone to buy him some time to escape.

Carson flew over a mountain ridge and then descended, watching the battle in the sky from afar.

Killian’s robes flew about as she fiercely maneuvered her sword, her Flying Swords continuously stabbing at the Snow Dragon Leopard King, producing a series of clear, ringing sounds. Yet, the sharp Flying Swords could not breach the icicle-like skin.

The Snow Dragon Leopard King roared again, the temperature around it plummeting abruptly. A massive cloud of frost enveloped its surroundings, including the Flying Swords.

The Flying Swords seemed almost instantaneously frozen in the air, wobbling as if about to fall.

Resigned Killian recalled her Flying Swords, but as they returned, the vast cloud of frost suddenly swirled like a fierce wind, transforming into a violent Ice Storm that enveloped Killian in a blanket of ice.

Killian’s expression changed as she flew swiftly trying to evade, but the Ice Storm was too fast, and she was unable to dodge in time, getting clipped by the edge of the storm.

In an instant, Killian’s body was encased in solid ice, the extreme cold caused her body temperature to plummet sharply, and she lost consciousness, slanting down from the sky.

Carson was taken aback and, without a second thought, dashed forward to help.
